The Date types are too strict #84

Closed jaxxstorm closed 9 years ago

jaxxstorm commented 9 years ago

When filling out my resume, I can very rarely remember the exact date that I started with the company. However, if I fill out the startDate and endDate fields with anything other than ISO8601 data, resume test will fail. This means you can't be less specific with your start/end dates, and also you can't even use values like "present" if you're still working at a company.

I think we should be able to add anything like the following and have valid resumes:

"startDate": "October 2012",
"endDate": "Present",

See https://github.com/jsonresume/resume-schema/issues/142 for discussion of date, and https://github.com/jsonresume/resume-cli/issues/60#issuecomment-57051081 for workaround to have endDate be present.
